What kind of stone is best for carving?
I'd like to try carving stone, but just miniatures, things under six inches. I don't have access to stone like marble so I am wondering if there is any kind of stone that I would likely just find on a beach or something like that that is good for carving. Any ideas, fellow artist?
You can use any stone you find. Just get it wet (aka. spit on it) and that will give you an idea of what it will look like polished up. There are many different types of rock with many different looks. It's fun to find rocks and sculpt them. A friend and I used to go to the geology building at the local university to find cool rocks to carve that the students would throw out at the end of each semester. If you find it and think it looks cool...carve it.
Advice (and forgive me if this is already your plan)...
Buy a Dremel tool with a flexible shaft and a foot pedal and a small variety of diamond tips to carve with. And some diamond sandpaper for the final shaping and polishing. Keep in mind diamond tools must be worked wet. Use them dry and they will over-heat and be ruined. And if you really want to have some fun buy a 4 1/2" diamond saw blade (dry cut) and use it on an angle grinder for the initial grind down and shaping (be sure to take off the safety guard for better access to the blade...diamond will not cut you. It works because it is hard...not sharp). For a dry cut you will need respiratory protection. This is the perfect way to work small rocks (...or any rocks in my opinion).
